Palm Pre Ad Study: "Inspiration" and "Happiness" Evoked

Those ads that we here at PreCentral.net and the Twitterati find creepy and disturbing -- they appear to be working amongst the general public.  So says HCD Research, who did a "national Media Study" with 305 viewers whose emotional response was more "Happiness" and "Inspiration" (26% and 25%, respectively) and less "Distrubing" and "Skepticism" (9% and 18%).

The ad shown to the viewers was the "Bing" ad, above.  Sample-size aside, we're wondering what the response to the "Crazy" ad would be - or even worse, the response to the unmitigated horror of the "Juggler."

In any case, it's a little piece of vindication for Modernista, who put the ads together for Palm - 67% found the ad at least somewhat effective.

Thanks to Manny for the tip! Article updated to clarify that this was more of a "Media Study" than a "Survey" or Poll.
